Cleaning Efficiency of XP Finisher, XP Finisher R and Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation Following Retreatment of Teeth Obturated with TotalFill HiFlow Bioceramic Sealer.
Trial report in European endodontic journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe aim of the study was to compare the cleaning efficiency of XP Finisher (FKG Dentaire, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland), XP Finisher R (FKG Dentaire), and passive ultrasonic irrigation after root canal retreatment.
methodsA total of 75 single-rooted human teeth were decoronated, instrumented using HyFlex EDM rotary files (Coltène/Whaledent Inc., Altstätten, Switzerland), and filled with gutta-percha and the TotalFill HiFlow bioceramic sealer (FKG Dentaire) using the warm vertical compaction technique. Retreatment was performed with D-Race rotary files (FKG Dentaire). Samples were randomly divided into five groups according to the activation protocol used. Samples were sectioned longitudinally and prepared for the scanning electron microscope. The percentages of cleaned canal walls in each third of the canal were determined using the ImageJ software. The one-way ANOVA test was used to make comparisons among all of the tested groups, with a pairwise comparison made with the Bonferroni correction. The significance level was set at P≤0.05.
resultsResults showed that none of the activation techniques used resulted in complete canal cleanliness. However, XP Finisher R and XP Finisher had better cleaning ability compared with passive ultrasonic irrigation in all thirds of each root canal (P<0.001).
conclusionThe cleaning efficiency of XP Finisher R and XP Finisher was superior to that of passive ultrasonic irrigation after the retreatment of the hydraulic calcium silicate sealer.
